An Arena mode introduced in Armored Core: Project Phantasma gave players the opportunity to fight opponents outside of missions for additional rewards. Project Phantasma also introduced the import feature, allowing players to retain their progress from a previous entry when starting a new one. [19] This import feature would become a mainstay of the franchise, with "expansion" titles like Silent Line: Armored Core allowing for importing save data. [20] Multiplayer [ edit ]Being an expansion, Silent Line allows players to import existing data into the game, bringing their favorite mechs with them. More importantly, the game introduces programmable AI that lets the computer take over the player’s mecha, alongside a first-person view that gives the game a much-needed change in visuals. Claim To Fame: Silent Line: Armored Core I did not like the game, it has the same scheme of controls of the other franchise games (which I never liked too much anyway), and now with smaller robots, they are not so mobile (even your thrust is limited compared to the previous versions of the franchise), the graphics are good, but there are a lot of things at the same time on the screen, with same colors at the same time, with some occasional graphics issues, and looking closely, sometimes there are simple textures that try to hide in between all the mess.

One of the most outstanding features of this platform is its wide catalog of games, including masterpieces such as Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and Bleach: Soul Resurreccion.A few years after protagonist Leos Klein attempts a coup, the Earth once again faces a power struggle between three large corporations and a revolutionary group attempting to establish a new government. It’s this tense premise that lets Armored Core 2: Another Age mark the end of the original timeline of Armored Core and it definitely tries to go all out. While there’s no presence of Arena Mode, the game has more than 100 missions to keep players entertained for quite a long time.

In fact, many retro video game fans still enjoy the PlayStation 3 thanks to emulators such as RPCS3, RetroArch, BizHawk or EmuPs3-Ps3. Bischoff, Daniel R. (March 30, 2012).
